Reggie has always had the urge to build a railway, but the urge is just an urge after all. With the current steel reserves and smelting technology of the Snow Breaking Country, it is simply impossible to build a railway across the continent. Even if the construction is successful, the manpower and material resources to maintain the railway will exceed Lei Ji's.
Ji's tolerance range.
It's always right to think about it, but if it doesn't work out, building a small railway and building a small train to run around Broken Snow City is also a good option.
Looking at Kalaf's simple clothes, the wolf kings didn't have much interest in this craftsman, but they showed great respect for Asharif.
Because they had never seen a steam engine, let alone such a fierce steamroller, this smoke-belching steel behemoth seemed to have the power to crush everything. In their eyes, it was like the mount of the God of War.
Who is qualified to ride the mount of the God of War? Even if he is not the God of War, he must be a descendant of the god.
Seeing Asharif's humble attitude towards Reggie, the wolf kings' admiration for Reggie surged like a tide. The Red Wolf King whispered to the White Wolf King: "Give up, even if the Yellow Sand Queen gathers ten million sand demons,
He is no match for Emperor Sirius."
The White Wolf King grabbed the Red Wolf King by the collar and said fiercely: "I'll say it again, I have nothing to do with Yalishan. If you dare to slander me again, I will chop off your head in front of the Emperor!"
When they arrived in Blackwater City, Reggie gathered with various wolf kings for a few days and then went their separate ways. During this period, Reggie held a grand canonization ceremony for Jarvan, and he wanted to help Jarvan establish a sufficient status among the wolf kings.
Except for a few generals, Reggie left all the expeditionary forces to Jarvan, and made clear Jarvan's weapons reserves and supply plan.
Everything was explained very clearly, and it was time for Reggie to leave. No matter how reluctant Jiawen was, this separation was inevitable.
In order to avoid a sensational farewell, Reggie took the airship and left directly. Their goal was not Suixue City, but Zhilin City. Nearly a month had passed in the New Year, and the New Year's Eve had come to an end. Reggie spent
After several nights of in-depth discussions with Edwina on many issues, Reggie took the airship to a long-lost territory, Blackstone Island, where Silver Song was stationed.
Among all Reggie's territories, including Han Maple Fortress, the Blackstone Island has the worst conditions. Even the prisoners of war and serious criminals in Shattering Snow City are not willing to do hard labor here.
But Yinge had been here for more than a year, and the orc girl didn't complain at all. Reggie's arrival made her extremely excited. Seeing that Camilla was not there, she secretly gave Reggie a hug and hugged her tightly.
for a long time.
Coal mining on Blackstone Island has already reached a certain scale. Swindell built two steam plows according to Reggie's design, and Karaf built two large coal conveyor belts (conveyor belts). With these equipment
, Blackstone Island can produce hundreds of thousands of pounds of coal every day.
But the living conditions here are very boring. There are no restaurants, no markets, and not even a grocery store. Daily necessities are delivered regularly by ships. Everyone receives food according to a quota and is given two sets of clothes every year. In addition to eating and sleeping,
Just hard work in the coal dust.
In addition to prisoners serving hard labor, there are also many day laborers here. At the end of each month, many day laborers will leave. Even if they can earn two gold coins a month, they do not want to stay here for one more day.
Yinge didn't complain. The only request she made was to send a doctor to the island. The last doctor left half a month ago. In Yinge's view, even criminals have benefits when they suffer from injuries.
The power to heal.
Reji agreed to Yinge's request, and Yinge happily introduced the changes on the island to Reji. She built a number of houses, built several reservoirs, and even tried to grow some vegetables.
"Grace sometimes sends me some seeds, but the land here always fails to grow crops. She sent me some soil. Maybe the soil is too thin, or maybe there is too much water. If there is
It's good to have hard work here, I'm really not good at farming."
Seeing Yinge's smile, Reggie took a long time to explain his purpose.
"I came here today to take you away temporarily..."
"Leave?" Yinge looked at Reggie in astonishment, then leaned over and saluted, "Sir, did I do something wrong?"
"You did nothing wrong, the reason why I let you leave..."
"If I make a mistake, you can remove me from my post, but please allow me to continue living here," Yinge pleaded. "I still have a lot of things to do."
How could there be such a stupid girl? The treatment here is worse than exile, and she actually wants to stay here.
"The reason I want to take you away is..."
Reggie was thinking about his words when Shansha suddenly spoke: "The lord feels sorry for you. He has found a better place for you."
Yinge shed tears. Reggie understood her feelings and worked hard from scratch. Reggie knew the hard work and emotion that Yinge had put into it.
"Don't cry, good girl, I will find a suitable person to replace you."
"I can't leave. There is only one water source on the island, and that water cannot feed so many people."
"There should be more than one water source on the island," Sakason said, "It's just that you didn't find the right place."
"Who are you?" Yinge looked up and down at Sakason.
"I am your successor, Water Dance Wizard Sakason. No one knows water better than me. There is an underground river on this island connected to the mainland. I can smell the smell of the mainland. I will lead the water source to
On the ground..."
"Don't say so much yet!" Yinge shouted, "You said you are my successor, is this true?"
Shan Sha smiled and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense. He is an assassin. He followed the Lord because the assassination failed. How could the Lord trust him so much? Your successor is me, and I will stay here..."
"Whether he or you, it doesn't matter. There is indeed a successor here, right?"
Yinge looked at Shansha first, and then at Reggie.
Reggie may have a little misunderstanding about Yinge. Her feelings for this place don't seem to be that deep.
He nodded to Yinge, who said, "I'm sorry." Then she immediately got into her room. It took her an hourglass (about a quarter of an hour) to pack her bags, and then reappeared.
In front of Reggie.
"Sir, when shall we set off?"
"Actually, it's not that urgent. We can..."
"If you don't mind, I would like to go to the airship to chat with Natalie first."
"Of course, the place I want to take you to is..."
"Anywhere is fine, I obey all your orders."
Yinge got into the airship as quickly as possible, fearing that she would miss the opportunity to leave.
Having no complaints does not mean that she is willing, working hard does not mean that she does not want better options, and her absolute loyalty to Reggie does not mean that she does not have her own will. She can endure hardships for Reggie, but it does not mean that she is unwilling to escape the sea of suffering.
Human nature is like this, orcs are like this, and orc goddesses are still like this.
Shansha clasped his hands behind his back, looked around the desolate Black Rock Island, and sighed: "Don't forget your promise, let me leave after one year."
Reggie said: "Don't worry, we signed the deed."
Sakason smiled and said: "Actually, this place is not that bad. At least it is much better than the desert. It just lacks a little life."
As soon as the words fell, noises were heard in the distance, and a soldier shouted: "The workers are fighting. This kind of thing happens every day."
Reggie laughed dryly and said: "Who said there is no anger? At least the workers still have the strength to fight."
"There are all men here. If it were me, I would be able to fight," Sakason said with a smile. "Even in the most desolate desert, there will be tents for girls. Send more girls from Zhilin City. Your workers will not earn enough."
"Hey, the girls won't suffer. In addition, I'll send you some more wine, preferably white fruit wine from Bayer Country. It's strong enough and can withstand the cold."
Reggie smiled and said: "It seems I have found the right person."
Shan Sha whispered: "Since you have found the right person, let me go back. I really don't want to stay in this ghost place."
